Some believe by 'Finishing somthing off at home' is of benifit to the family, however with the distractions that the home environment provides they would have been better finishing it off at the office.

However: isn't it curious how those categories persist in the way we, even the most progressive people, frame these debates? Speaking as a writer who covers family research, I try very hard (and forget or slip up sometimes) to actively resist or problematize these categories when they appear, especially when covering someone else's research.

I just wanted to address your comment about just working "dads" being mentioned in this post. As a research-based organization, we bring our audience current, credible and comprehensive information on different work/family issues. The issue of technology applies to all working parents, however, the two studies mentioned in this post only involved "dads" so that is what was discussed. I hope this addresses your concern! We hope you continue to read our blog! Thank you for your thoughtful response! I just wanted to address your comment about just working “dads” being mentioned in this post.
